From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "John W. Linville" Subject: [patch 2.6.12-rc6] b44: check link state during open Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2005 15:11:57 -0400 Message-ID: <20050608191156.GA28376@tuxdriver.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: jgarzik@pobox.com Return-path: To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@oss.sgi.com Content-Disposition: inline Sender: netdev-bounce@oss.sgi.com Errors-to: netdev-bounce@oss.sgi.com List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org Check the link state during b44_open. This closes a 1 HZ window that existed after b44_open ran but before the b44_timer handler ran, during which ethtool would report "Link detected: yes" no matter what the link state actually was.
